NanoK® application drives a 32% greater uptake of potassium in peppers during early fruiting

Arcadia, FL

Baseline tissue samples pulled: 4/25/2022

After treatment samples pulled: 4/28/2022

Crop: Bell Pepper, Bloom to early fruiting

Products: 2 qt/ac LOKOMOTIVE®, 4 oz/ac NanoK®


In this latest trial from Arcadia, FL, a bell pepper grower trials LOKOMOTIVE® (2-0-25 potassium acetate) at a 2 qt/ac application with and without 4 oz/ac NanoK®. All tissue samples were pulled at random throughout a four-acre block.


After the potassium acetate application, the potassium levels dropped from 3.26% to 2.73%. After the potassium acetate with NanoK® application, the potassium levels increased from 3.00% to 3.48%. 

Not only was there a better efficiency of potassium in the plant, but adding NanoK® offered better efficacy of nitrogen and phosphorus within plant tissue. Most noteably there was a slight increase in phosphorus with NanoK® application versus a decline in the potassium acetate only application.

NanoK® delivers potassium acetate through Aqua-Yield® nanoliquid technology to provide potassium to crops all season long. Potassium is a vital nutrient for plant growth. Applying NanoK® ensures a strong plant structure resulting in enhanced crop quality and yield. NanoK® also decreases drought stress and boosts the plant’s immune system to fight off disease.

JUST IN: 2023 Beck's Practical Farm Research (PFR)® Data

By Jenny Phillips, Director of Marketing • 06 Dec, 2023
Aqua-Yield® was excited to partner with Beck's again this year and trial some of our nanoliquid® products through their PFR (Practical Farm Research) program. Our 2-year multi-location trials show how our technology helps growers take their inputs to the next level. We strive to become PFR Proven next year!

NanoPro® PGR Solutions

By Brit Hunter, Technical Agronomist • 30 Nov, 2023
NanoPro is the Aqua-Yield® flagship carrier adjuvant for crop protection applications. Add NanoPro to any Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) product to increase plant uptake and amplify the end result for crops. PGR products mimic natural plant hormones that either promote or slow plant growth. The chemical structure of PGR products is highly synergistic with Aqua-Yield nanotechnology.
